Karacahisar Castle, Medieval fortification in Eskişehir Province, Turkey
The castle stands on an elevated plateau, featuring thick stone walls, defensive towers, and strategic viewpoints overlooking the surrounding valleys and plains.
Built during the Byzantine period, this fortress gained prominence as the first castle conquered by Ottoman forces during their territorial expansion in Anatolia.
The architectural elements of the castle demonstrate the influence of both Byzantine and Seljuk building techniques, with distinct features in its stone masonry.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the main road from Eskişehir city center to Odunpazarı district, where signs direct to the archaeological site.
Archaeological excavations continue to uncover artifacts and structural elements that reveal the daily life of soldiers and inhabitants through different periods.
